Although I personally do not consider myself an expert on the piercingsYes, I follow this type of body modification very closely and with special attention. A few days ago I read some interesting statements made by an expert on the subject to a medium and in which he warned about a type of piercing That whose popularity is growing in social networks and that presents many risks. I speak of, commonly known as snake eye piercing.
As you can see in the images that accompany this article, it is a piercing placed horizontally on the tip of the tongue. The professional inserts a bar of the piercing into the inside of the tongue, crossing it from side to side. In this way, it is achieved create the visual effect "Snake Eyes". We will convey the feeling that our tongue is the head of an snake.
Visually it is a very interesting piercing and that looks very good. However, and as we say, the snake eye piercing can bring many problems. Any tongue piercing is already complicated And many complications can occur during the piercing healing process. In the case of this type of piercing, which has become so fashionable, these risks multiply.
This piercing and body modification artist who was interviewed assures that any of these situations can easily occur:
- Mobility of the tongue may be lost as two muscles are "joined" by piercing.
- The piercing rests on the back of the teeth, so it will be in continuous contact with the gums.
- In case of rejection, a very visible scar will remain.
Finally, the artist comments that not all tongues are suitable for this type of piercing. And if we are determined to get a snake eye piercing, it is recommended that we go to a professional to advise us and examine our tongue to determine if we may suffer any of the complications mentioned above.
